Happy Birthday, Melynn!

Today is Melynn's first Birthday. Because we are not at home we just did a small party. Instead of getting a cake she got a cream filled donut. At first she gagged on it and a few minutes she decided it was good and chowed down. I think that she isn't used to having something that big put in front of her and also I think that it was too sweet for her. Also on a side note, last Sunday was the first time I tried the pony tail thing she looked so cute but today I tried pigtails I think they look much cuter.


Here are a couple of pictures. Peter really likes the one with her mouth open.

Mommy and Daddy love you Melly and we are so thankful to have you in our lives. We thank our Father in Heaven for the miracle that you are. You are such a wonderful, beautiful, smart little girl.

Salmon Run

Tonight after Peter got home from work he took us out for a little adventure. We went to a place across town where there is a waterfall and the salmon try to jump up it. Here is a little video. After about 6 seconds one fish jumps and right at the end another one does.

Dancing Queen

Our little Melly is a dancing fool. Every time a certain commercial comes on she drops everything shes doing and starts dancing. We finally downloaded the music for the commercial and here she is dancing to it. You even get a rare glimpse of dancing daddy.

Heartbeat

Well right before we went to bed last night we decided to try out the doppler again for the second time. The first time we didn't have much luck. That was only a week ago. So we weren't expecting much. Well it took awhile but we finally found it. So we actually know that there is a baby and this isn't just a waste of time.

Scared of Bugs

Melynn has decided that she is scared of bugs. She did this over and over again. She would only go over there when daddy was there to protect her, but she always ran to me for comfort.

Chuck E. Cheese

Yesterday all of the wives with kids went to Chuck E. Cheese. I think Melynn enjoyed her self all she wanted to do it run all over. I let her run a little, but I was afraid I would lose her. I loved it. I had a blast. We both did. Here are some pictures. Enjoy.



I did horrible at Ski-ball. I bet you can't guess why.


Melynn loved this ride. Well actually she loved the dog.


This ride actually takes your picture, but you don't know when it is going to take it and when we got it turned out horribly, so I took my own. I think it turned out pretty cute.




This is the Bob the Builder ride. When I put the token in and the ride started it about knocked her out of the seat, so I quickly buckled her in. I was afraid she might get sick, but she did really well. All she really wanted to do was suck on Bob's nose.

All in all I think it was a good day. Everyone had fun and Melynn went to bed earlier than usual because she was all tuckered out.

Doppler

We bought a Fetal Heart Doppler. Which is a device that you can hear your baby's heart beat as early as 10 weeks to the end of your pregnancy. So Grandma Julie and Grammy, if you'd like you can hear the baby's heart beat. And anyone who is pregnant can borrow it. I wanted one when I was pregnant with Melynn, but we couldn't afford it. But we finally were able to get one. I can't wait to hear the baby's heart beat.

Amazing Melly

Everyday Melynn seems to amazes us with something new she does. Tonight we went to Applebee's with some friends for dinner and I got a Mango Banana Smoothie (amazing) but wasn't feel like any when it came, so Peter was letting Melynn have some by letting it slide out of the stray into her mouth. Well at some point she got tired of waiting for it to come out and she decided to suck on the straw. "Wow, if I suck on this thing it comes out fast", is what we figure she thought, because after that it was on and she was sucking it out like crazy. So we put the straw in the cup to see if she could figure out how to do it on her own and it took her about five seconds and she was off. What a pro. Way to go Melly. We're so proud of you.

Seward , Moosey Pie, & Snooky Bunny

Melynn has 3 stuffed animals up here in Alaska they are: a white seal named Seward, a moose named Moosey Pie,& a pink bunny from Grammy named Snooky Bunny. The moose and seal have ribbons around the neck that say Alaska. Yesterday Seward was on the floor across the room from Melynn and the ribbon was off it neck, but it was stitched on in one spot so it wouldn't get lost. I asked said to her not expecting her to understand, "Melly go get Seward". She looked at the seal, walked over and picked him up took a few steps to me dropped Seward and walked off. Peter's and my mouth dropped open in amazement. A few minutes later I was in the hall and saw her moose on the floor and told her to come get Moosey Pie. She walked over to it picked it up and walked off. She also knows Snooky bunny just the same. Also here is a picture of her holding all three.
